I don't understand why this requires anything special at all regarding
archetypes? Surely it is a composition with some sections, and in
those sections might be an uncoded 'story' about the encounter, and
then some other coded archetypes.

If there is duplication of information, then IMHO
they will need to see the duplicate information - once, as you say, 
they have
copied the structured content into the note as text it has indeed lost 
its
connection to the original data. I can't see how you could in good
faith then indicate that any of the coded structured data is
'duplicate' information unless you could
actually ensure that the text is also still present in the uncoded
story - and if you can do that strong linking check with
any degree of reliability then the whole problem doesn't really exist?
